6 1 Standards, Regulations and Workmanship 1.1 All data communications installations shall be in accordance with this Standard Specification and the drawings and Supplementary Specification particular to individual contract. 1.2 It is essential that all contractors carrying out UTP or fibre installations should have access to and be familiar with all of the standards noted in the reference section, notably all parts of BS EN 50173, BS EN and BS The University Standard Technical Specification for Electrical Services shall apply to the contract other than where herein varied. 1.4 In addition other relevant specifications for general building and mechanical work, safety and site practices must be observed, as advised by E&F. 1.5 This Standard Specification may be augmented by a Supplementary Specification for a particular project or part of a project: in such case the Supplementary Specification must also be observed. Where such Supplementary Specification differs from the Standard Specification the former shall take precedence. 1.6 Should any queries be raised regarding this specification they should be passed to Estates and Facilities. 2 Health and Safety 2.1 The installer must fully comply with all aspects of the University Safety Manual as related to the above works. A copy of this is freely available from E&F. 2.2 As hazardous substances and environments may be encountered on the University campus, contractors must ensure that they have authority to commence work in any particular area. The University will indicate from whom this authority should be obtained. 2.3 Contractors must ensure the safety of themselves and others whilst working, in particular: Working areas should be signed and cordoned-off where possible whilst allowing necessary access (e.g. when working in corridors) Care must be taken when drawing cables into ceiling voids that hanging cables do not pose a hazard to passers-by Where cables are installed below a false floor the working area must be clearly marked, or closed off, to prevent danger to others due to missing floor tiles When working above areas accessed by UoR staff and students, either on ladders, staging or scaffold, stringent steps must be taken to prevent materials and tools from falling. The use of netting, HERRAS fencing and hoardings should be considered rather than signs and chapter 8 barriers Debris should not be allowed to accumulate, and must be removed entirely when works are completed. 2.4 Upon completion contractors should inform the contracts administrator and the building manager that they have completed the work. 2.5 Contractors installing optical cables should be familiar with section 4 of BS (Optical fibre safety) and ensure that they have the relevant procedures in place to ensure that those carrying out such work follow the guidelines which are issued there. 3 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Installations 3.1 Standards The installation shall be compliant with EN 50173:1996 Link class D (100 MHz) Test results will be provided which shall show conformance EN 50173:1996 Link class D. Results from test equipment designed to show conformance with either TIA/EIA-568-6

7 A Category 5E, using an EIA/TIA TSB67 level II classification test instrument, or ISO/IEC will also be acceptable Cables shall be sheathed with a low smoke and low toxic gas emitting material as currently approved by E&F as being suitable for the area of installation concerned. 3.2 Outlet Ports Outlet faceplates shall fit BS4662 single gang or double gang wall boxes Outlet ports shall have a means of clearly indicating, by means of icons representing a telephone and a computer, whether the circuit is configured for data or voice usage. The means of indication must be tamper-resistant, e.g. if the labels bearing the telephone and computer icons are removable without a special tool then they must not be reversible, to prevent unauthorised changes to the indication. Where a tool is required to change the label then at least three such tools must be supplied to IT Outlet ports shall have sprung slide shutters over RJ45 sockets Outlets shall be mounted so that contacts are at the top of the socket, except where the sockets are angled at 45 to the faceplate, in which case the sockets shall face downwards Connectors shall have IDC terminations Modules shall be capable of insertion into a wall plate of dimensions 86mm x 86mm single gang with double aperture of 50mm x 50mm suitable for two full modules. Wall plates shall be flat face with no installers' logos showing. 3.3 Patch Panels Patch panels shall be suitable for modular RJ45 sockets and shall be 24 way only Terminations shall be IDC If patch panels are conductive then they shall be bonded to an electrical earth for safety purposes Cables must be terminated on patch panel outlets in accordance with manufacturers recommendations. 3.4 Labelling A summary and illustration of the scheme for labelling and identifying UTP cables, patch panels and outlets is given in Appendix A Patch panels shall be numbered sequentially from the top (and from the left if there is more than one bay) starting with number Patch panel outlets shall be numbered sequentially from left to right and top to bottom, and shall also be labelled to identify the room outlet to which each patch outlet is connected: Room Number / Patch Panel Outlet Number Outlet sockets shall be marked with the patch panel outlet number and the number of the room where the patch panel end of the circuit is located: Wiring Closet Room Number / Patch Panel Number / Patch Panel Outlet Number 3.5 Installation Practices 7

8 Installers must be aware of and observe good installation practices. Some guidelines are given in Appendix D. 3.6 Documentation Contractors shall submit the following documentation to the Contract Administrator (see Appendix E): A list of cables installed. This shall be supplied on electronic, and optionally also on paper media. The list shall be in the format described in Appendix B Test results showing compliance with the standards as specified.

10 the Descriptive Name is a convenient reference for the destination of the cable (see the example in Appendix C). Where both ends of a fibre-optic cable terminate in the same building the Building Number may be omitted from the identification labels The individual fibre cores within a cable shall be numbered sequentially from left to right where they terminate on patch panel outlets (i.e. each fibre terminated in an SC duplex connector will be numbered) Where a cable uses only part of a patch panel, and/or where a cable is terminated on an existing partly-populated patch panel, the division of the panel between the cables must be clearly marked All fibre cables where exposed in underground service walkways, plant rooms and above false ceilings shall be labelled at 5m intervals for the full length of the cable run as described below. Further, at any position along the route where there is a manhole cover or trap and at entrance and exit points to individual buildings, the fibre optic cable shall be labelled as shown: IT Fibre Optic Cable Building No / Room No -- Building No / Room No -- Identification No All individual fibres in each cable shall be uniquely colour coded. 4.4 Application of Cable Types For information regarding optical cable design concepts see BS 7718: 1996 section B If an optical cable is to be installed through a duct or other conduit then a loose tube construction cable or sheath construction cable with a central- or sheath embedded/bonded- strength member is required. This strength member should be used as tensile load protection during cable installation Tight buffer constructions incorporating longitudinally laid aramid yarns acting as strength members may be installed through duct or other conduit using the strength members as tensile load protection provided that evidence supporting its use is provided by the manufacturer and copies provided to the Contracts Administrator Tight buffer constructions incorporating wrapped, braided or wound aramid yarns may be employed over shorter cabling routes. However, the use of the aramid yarn as tensile load protection during cable installation should be avoided A UV stabilised sheathing material shall be used for outdoor applications in which the cable is to be subjected to UV radiation e.g. sunlight Where Fibre Optic cables are installed in vertical runs particular attention must be given to manufacturers recommendations for the type of cable used and the method of installation to avoid damage due to the weight of unsupported fibre in e.g. loose-tube cables. 4.5 Closures Closures shall be capable of withstanding temperature variations in the ranges specified for cables The material of construction shall eliminate external light being coupled to the optical fibres contained within the closure The sealing properties of closures used in external applications shall prevent the ingress of moisture Strain relief shall be provided for each cable entering the closure The design of the closure and/or its immediate surroundings shall allow for storage of service loops of optical cable. The loops shall be sufficient to allow the removal of the 10

11 closure from its specified location to a position that will allow access to the optical fibres contained for purposes of repair, rework or modification Closures should be bonded to an electrical earth for safety purposes Optical safety labels in accordance with BS EN shall be applied adjacent to all accessible optical interfaces Internal physical features of the closure shall provide the features of: protection, identification and restraint as described in BS 7718: 1996 section B Connectors Duplex SC connectors shall be used except where otherwise specified. The connectors must be installed with the polarising cutout facing up. 4.7 Installation Practices The precautions, procedures, tests, preparations and protection of the cable during installation shall comply with BS 7718: 1996 section Jointing and termination shall be carried out in accordance with BS 7718: 1996 section Documentation Contractors shall submit the following documentation to the Contracts Administrator (see Appendix E) Test results of pre- and post-installation testing as described in the section on testing A record of the Make, Model and Serial Number of each item of test equipment used in testing the installation along with photocopies of valid calibration certificates carrying the serial number of the test equipment. The Contractor may be required to produce the original calibration certificate for inspection. All equipment must be calibrated at periods recommended by the manufacturer by a testing organisation approved by the manufacturer. 5 Equipment Housing 5.1 Selection of Housing Where equipment is to be installed in a wiring closet dedicated to data (and possibly also voice) communications an open frame type of housing without front or rear doors shall be used Where equipment is to be installed in any other location an enclosed cabinet shall be used Enclosed cabinets shall have a glazed door to the front of the rack only Doors and removable panels shall be lockable.

15 Appendix A Identification and Labelling of Cat-5 UTP cables This appendix summarises and illustrates the scheme specified in section Error! Reference source not found.. Outlet Ports Outlets must be labelled to identify the circuit at the patch panel. The information on the label must be in the format: Wiring Closet Room Number / Patch Panel Number / Patch Panel Outlet Number Patch Panels Patch panels must be numbered (starting from 1). Patch panel outlet sockets must be numbered (most panels are supplied already numbered). Patch panel outlet sockets must also be labelled with the number of the room where the wall-box outlet end of the circuit is terminated. Cables Cables are identified (e.g. on test results) by the combination of the building number plus the two codes above (see the example below). Example (See diagram overleaf.) The code W01/G04/2/39/G19 identifies a cable in building W01, which is terminated at the following points: 1. in room G04 on patch panel number 2 on outlet number 39 (of a 48-way patch panel) 2. in room G19 on an outlet labelled G04/2/39 The following diagram illustrates this scheme: 15

19 Appendix C Identification and Labelling of fibre-optic cables This appendix summarises and illustrates the scheme specified in section Error! Reference source not found. Patch Panels Fibre-optic patch panels must be numbered (starting at 1 for the top (left) panel). The terminations of each fibre core on the patch panel must be numbered (starting at 1) so each SC duplex connector will have two numbers (1+2, 3+4 etc.) The patch panel must be labelled to show clearly which fibres are part of each cable (e.g. the first 8 cores are on one cable and the next 8 on another). The patch panel must carry a label indicating where the other end of the fibre is terminated, in the format: Building Number* / Room Number / Panel Number ( Descriptive Name ) Cables Cables must be identified (by physical labels, and on drawings and test results etc.) in the format: Building Number* / Room Number -- Building Number* / Room Number -- Identification number The first building number must be the alphanumerically lower of the two e.g. building W04 should come before W27, and L29 should come before either. * Where both ends of a fibre-optic cable terminate in the same building the Building Number may be omitted from the identification labels. The identification number is to distinguish between multiple fibre cables installed between the same end-points: the first cable will have identification number 1 etc. Cables must be physically labelled at intervals with their identification code on labels as shown: Fibre Optic Cable Building No* / Room No Building No* / Room No Identification No Example 1 (See diagram.) The code W04 / G12 W27 / identifies the first cable installed between building W04 room G04, and building W27, room 101. The cable is terminated on patch panel 1 in W27/101 and on patch panel 5 in W04/G12: this information is clear from the labels on the patch panels. The following diagram illustrates this scheme. Example 2 The code G identifies a cable within a building, installed between room G03 and room 101. This is the second cable installed between these points: the first should be identified as G

21 Appendix D Installation Practices Cable installers must be aware of the limitations specified by the manufacturers on the force which can be applied when pulling in cables before damage to the cable results, and must take care to ensure that damage does not result from the use of excessive force. Extra care must be taken when pulling bundles of cables which are not taped, as the force will not be evenly applied across all cables. Cables should not be pulled through more than two 90 bends. To do so may exceed the maximum pulling strength and could lead to cable damage. When pulling in cables the minimum bend radius of eight times the overall cable diameter must be observed. Where cables are pulled onto cable trays or wire baskets allow a minimum of 10% extra slack at each bend. Bundles of cables should be marked: WARNING Datacoms Cable Maintain Separation Distances at intersections and other suitable points along the path of the cable. Where Fibre Optic cables are installed in vertical runs particular attention must be given to manufacturers recommendations for the type of cable used and the method of installation to avoid damage due to the weight of unsupported fibre in e.g. loose-tube cables. When installing UTP patch panels and outlets in dusty environments e.g. sites undergoing building construction or refurbishment work, precautions must be taken to prevent ingress of dust into connectors. Such measures may include taping over outlets and/or enclosing panels and outlets in plastic bags taped closed over the cables whilst construction work and concomitant dust persists. Especial care must be taken with outlets mounted in underfloor boxes which are particularly susceptible to contamination with dust. On completion of installation and before the works are accepted into the University, E&F will carry out a white glove check on all parts of the communications rack to ensure that the installation is fit for installation of datacoms switching equipment. All parts of the rack must be sparkle cleaned in advance of this inspection to ensure that it is clear of all debris and loose dust that may interfere with the equipment. 21
